Bleacher Report: Predictions for all Super Regional games
Tennessee over Evansville
Florida State over UConn
Virginia over Kansas State
North Carolina over West Virginia
Kentucky over Oregon State
NC State over Georgia
Florida over Clemson
Texas A&M over Oregon
Sportskeeda: Tennessee over Evansville
Staff writes: "Tennessee by any objective measure, will be a massive favorite in this series. The Vols are, of course, the No. 1 team in the nation and have dominate their region. Evansville currently has 110 to 1 odds to win the College World Series, while Tennessee is at 2.5 to 1."
24/7 Sports: Texas A&M
Staff writes: "Texas A&M and Oregon combined for an 0-4 record in their conference tournaments but rolled through regional play with three-straight victories. Throw momentum out the window when these teams square off at Blue Bell Park. The Aggies are 12-4 when ace Ryan Prager takes the mound, and their deep and explosive offense has a chance to feast off the Ducks' middle-of-the-road rotation, so the home squad should feel good about its chances in at least Game 1. Oregon's pitching has been much better of late, but its powerful offense did not top five runs in any of its first five postseason games. That will not get it done against first-round lockBraden Montgomeryand the Aggies."
